If you take dihydrocodeine in a cup of hot coffee then would the heat spoil the effect?

Is it the same for codeine phosphate?

Thanks for any info.
 
To make things simple for yourself, you could just not put the Dihydrocodeine in coffee, get high without worry and call it a day, but you can also do things the hard way if that is your preference!

Codeine Phosphate itself doesn't start to degrade until around 120C if I'm not mistaken. I'm making a possibly foolish assumption that Dihydrocodeine will possess similar properties. In short, the heat from a hot cup of coffee shouldn't be enough to destroy it. In a preliminary sense, I would say that it's probably fine, but again, I think the better option would be just to take the pills.

When I was young and stupid I dumped two 20mg Amphetamine pills into my Mountain Dew. Why? Who the fuck knows. Probably for the same reasons you want to put drugs in coffee. Anyway, I ended up not feeling any effects whatsoever. Maybe it was something in the drink that neutralized the chemical, maybe it stuck to the walls of the bottle. I really have no idea, but I wished that I had just taken the pills. I can tell you that much.
